Her Graceful War Song by Summer's Blaze

Chapter 1171

"Randall, kneel!" Ruth's voice suddenly rose as she addressed him.

"You have been disrespectful. Ask Lady Carissa for forgiveness! She is both your cousin-in-law and aunt-in-law. Only when she forgives you can you have any peace with your mom in the afterlife!"

Just as Randall moved to kneel, Carissa shot him a cold stare. "Go ahead. See if you dare kneel before me."

The chilling command in her voice stopped Randall in his tracks. His bent knee straightened abruptly.

Carissa stood. "If there's nothing else, I will take my leave, Your Grace."

From behind, Ruth called out urgently, "Your Grace, no matter what happens in the future, please protect my grandchildren!"

Carissa halted and whirled around to face Ruth, and said coldly, "Lady Ruth, you have such a compassionate heart. It's a pity my aunt never received such kindness from you. Since that's the case, I don't think your grandchildren need anyone's pity or protection." "Your Grace, they're still your family-they're your cousins! You have to look out for them!" Ruth cried.

"If they behave, why would they need someone to look out for them? Do you honestly think the royal family's offspring will be reduced to beggars? You're overthinking this, Your Grace. If you're not, perhaps you should speak to your children and grandchildren-not me." Without waiting for a response, Carissa turned and walked away.

Randall hurried after her, blocking her path. "Cousin!"
